It's been half a month for another month, and it's the day of the annual exam.

Chen Mu lived his life as usual, eating, drinking, and sleeping every day, and spent the rest of his time practicing.

It is said that it is a practice, but in fact, it is to try his best to repair the first qi sea, in order to restore more strength.

The hard work of these days has not been in vain, Ou Qi has really recovered a lot, and the situation of the first Qi Sea has also become clearer, although it is still far from a complete recovery, but Chen Mu estimates that his combat effectiveness now should almost be at the level of the early stage of the second star.

The main reason is that the total amount of European gas is too small, from the beginning of the faint trace of European gas, to now it is only the size of a fetus.

What's more important is the quality of European qi, or the form, which is still at the lowest level of pure gas, that is, the level of a one-star martial artist, and it is still far from liquefaction.

This level of European qi can't support a more advanced martial arts at all, and the combat effectiveness is naturally greatly reduced, that is, Chen Mu's combat experience and eyesight are still there, so he can barely reach the level of combat power of a two-star martial artist.

The reason why European gas is stagnant in the gaseous state is that the repair progress of the first gas sea is blocked, and now it is stuck in an unknown difficulty, and the repair progress is difficult, so naturally it is impossible to talk about compressing and purifying gaseous European gas.

As for the second qi sea in the heart position, it is even more fundamentally related, and Chen Mu also found that many meridians in the body were damaged, and some of the damage was not so serious, and he was still trying his best to repair it.

However, some places are seriously damaged, and with the current level of European gas, there is no possibility of repair, and even some meridians are simply fragmented, almost completely scrapped.

This also greatly restricts the transmission, operation, and communication of European qi, and also greatly restricts the use of martial arts, otherwise even if there is only the lowest level of gaseous European qi, with his own martial arts reserves and combat experience, it is definitely enough to hang ordinary two-star martial artists, and it is not impossible to face hard steel with three-star martial artists.

No matter what, he is also an innate master who has reached the six-star combat power, and this kind of vision alone is not comparable to ordinary acquired martial artists.

But now in this situation, not only the sea of qi is damaged, the European qi is weak, and even the meridians are seriously damaged, Chen Mu feels that he can be unyielding to repair it to the current situation, which is already a miracle.

Fortunately, no matter how you say it, the current situation is much better than the previous despair, at least there is still European gas available, the meridians are not completely scrapped, and some key nodes can still be improvised, otherwise it will really become a waste.

After Chen Mu was blocked in repairing the Qi Sea in the past few days, he also thought carefully and repeatedly, but he couldn't find any breakthrough for a while, and the repair progress was temporarily stuck here.

Fortunately, with the current combat effectiveness, it should not be a problem to cope with the annual examination of "Liantai Temple", after all, this is only an examination to recruit the lowest-level martial artists, and the vast majority of the people who come to participate in the annual examination are ordinary people, not even martial artists.

After passing the annual exam, you must become a trainee monk, and then according to your talent and performance, you will be assigned a transformation potion, and after taking it, you will be able to successfully open up the sea of qi, and finally become the new official monk of "Liantai Temple".

Of course, this is not absolute, such as the "Liantai Temple", a small local force, for the martial artist does not have the qualifications to pick the fat and thin, so if the martial artist comes to participate in the annual examination, it is no problem, it can be regarded as a leading art investor.

However, most of the martial artists who will come to participate in the annual examination will not be some amazing and brilliant characters, so it is not absolutely possible to pass the test to become a formal monk, if the strength and potential are too poor, then there is still no way to pass the test, but there is no problem in becoming a peripheral fighter of "Liantai Temple".

According to Wang Mazi, the warriors in the "Liantai Temple" are, of course, all monks who have registered and made records, and their status is the most noble, and they are generally called "Buddha", which is easy to provoke.

In addition to these Buddhas, there are also many martial artists living in "Liantai Town", most of these people are peripheral fighters attached to the "Liantai Temple", although their strength is not strong, but they are almost enough to deal with ordinary daily affairs.

After all, the "Liantai Temple" is not a great force, and the official monks in the temple are only a few thousand people, plus they have to work hard to cultivate in order to improve the realm and combat power of martial artists, so there is not much time to take care of these trivial things.

Chen Mu used this to have a certain guess about the overall strength of Buddhism, there are thousands of official monks in the "Liantai Temple", if you add those peripheral thugs, it is almost a force with tens of thousands of warriors.

Even in the Great Black Tide region, such a force can be regarded as a small strength, according to what Chen Mu saw and heard when he was in the Death Desert, such a force is already very interesting, at least much stronger than the "Juyi Alliance".

Of course, how many three-star martial artists there are in the specific "Liantai Temple", and how many half-step innates, this is the key to determining their true strength.

However, Chen Mu didn't know these data, and Wang Mazi couldn't understand it, after all, he was just a civilian supervisor in the kitchen, and he couldn't even enter the temple, so how could he know these things.

But in any case, in the Great Kuroshio District, a force that can mobilize tens of thousands of warriors can only occupy such a small piece of territory as "Liantai Temple", which is not normal no matter how you look at it.

Based on this, Chen Mu speculated that either the overall strength of Buddhism was too strong, resulting in insufficient territory and too fierce competition, and this situation would naturally occur.

But if you think about it carefully, this possibility is not very large, otherwise if Buddhism is really strong to a certain extent, it will not be actively expanding to the outside world a long time ago, and how can it become the current dilemma.

Since this possibility has been ruled out, it can only be because of the geographical location of the "Liantai Temple", according to Wang Mazi, this is located on the southeast front, if you take a floating boat, then it is a few days away to the territory of the "True God Sect".

It is naturally not easy to survive in such a place, and considering that the natural environment of "Nanling" itself is relatively harsh and dangerous, the forces that take root here also need more warriors and stronger strength, otherwise there is no way to protect themselves.

As soon as he thought of this situation, the sense of urgency in Chen Mu's heart became even stronger, to survive in such a dangerous area, strength was naturally the top priority, but the progress of repairing the Qi Sea was stuck again, which was simply embarrassing.

Since the strength of the individual is not enough for the time being, if you want to live a more nourishing and safer life, joining a local force like "Liantai Temple" can be regarded as a good transitional method.
